Have you ever heard of NaNoWriMo? Well, neither had I until quite recently. I heard about it via A Cat of Impossible Colour and signed up to Andrea's Nanowrimo group today. Basically, the aim is to write 50,000 words during the month of November, be that a novel or a collection of short stories etc. Visit the site for more information - I'm brand new to this!

I'm not sure what I'm going to write yet - I have lots of projects saved to my computer which have been started and then forgotten about. And there is also the 'book' I wrote when I was about 14, after being inspired by the Saddle Club books I loved to much. I was too shy to ever show it to anyone and now when I read through bits it makes me cringe ever so slightly. But maybe it would be a good idea to re-write it? I don't know but I'm sure I will post about it when I do.

Don't you just love it when you come across a new blog filled with lots of lovely, inspiring pictures? I stumbled upon Sweet Nothing this morning while eating my breakfast, and instantly added the link to my ever growing list on Google reader.

Linnéa and Jennifer and two Swedish girls with a cute retro style and enviable wardrobes! Now I'm going to get dressed and I have a feeling that, after browsing the archives of Sweet Nothing, I will be wearing something polka dotted today.

The weather is absolutely miserable today. I feel like I may have forgotten what the sun looks like! All this week I've been getting up at the unholy hour of 6.30 to help my boyfriend get ready, because if he were to be left to his own devices he would never make it to the hospital for ward rounds at 8am (he's studying to be a doctor!). It's already painful to drag yourself out of bed when it's still as black as night outside but pouring rain and freezing temperatures make it that much harder. Plus, for the past hour or so I've been contemplating how I'm going to get to work today without drowning...

So, what could possibly cheer me up today? Well perhaps drooling over delicious jewellery which looks good enough to eat will do the trick? Perhaps.

I found this adorable shop on etsy a while back and have been patiently waiting for a little windfall so that I might purchase some of the fresh-baked goodness. My absolute favorites are the glass jars- don't you just wish you had one of those in life size?Visit Puff Pastry on etsy to see some more!

Who doesn't love Luella? Since I first discovered Luella I've lusted after every collection and the SS2010 collection is no different. I adore the colour palette - especially that powder blue shade in the last two outfits and the muted red of that gorgeous coat. And polka dots! I love anything printed with polka dots!

Of course, being just a humble student Luella is a little bit out of my price range (although I did see a girl in Uni the other day wearing a Luella skirt-so jealous) but I saw this dress on modcloth.com a few days ago and it instantly reminded me of this collection. Most likely because of the love-heart shaped cut-out on the back. Of course I have saved it to the Christmas wishlist I'm going to send to my boyfriend very soon (It was his idea, honestly!)

(I had to add some decoration to the middle photo since my face resembled a Halloween mask!)

I adore this little dress. It's from ASOS and it was a bargain at £8, and I think (or at least hope) that it's quite cute and flattering.

My boyfriend took me out for dinner last night. Okay, we only went to TGI Friday's for burgers (mine was absolutely smothered in cheese - it was heaven!) but he was paying so I had no complaints. I haven't had much time for posting lately because I just started my new job. I'm just working at a cinema (Multifunctional Staff Member is my official title) and I'm still in training but I'm not sure if I really enjoy it. I've been a bit naughty and accepted another job in a cafe up the street from me. I've got my first shift there on Friday so after that I guess I'll make a decision. I've spent months looking for a summer job, with no luck whatsoever and now Uni's started again I have 2. It's so typical!
